his turn min-raise was a little odd to me. I didn't know what to make of it since that card was harmless. Once the 5 pairs on the river, I figure my Q wins the pot for me.

With no read i muck this. I dont see a draw semi bluffing you in this way. More than anything, this seems like a big hand that slowplayed the flop.

Hey Skoal,

I muck this when he raises the turn. I'd pot the flop too.

I think you played it perfectly. I don't know why you would fold to a turn min raise.

What hand smooth calls the flop and then raises the turn with two players left to act behind that you're beating here? Ignore the river action.

huh? Muck to a minraise getting 5:1? Call and block the river as OP did. JMO

maybe I'm overthinking this too much... my problem here, is that the raise came out of nowhere on a card that meant nothing. What does this usually indicate? That's the area I'm having problems with [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

A flush draw, a bluff, KJ, I don't know. Point is you're not laying down TPGK for a small turn minraise on a double suited board.
